Quotes
-
Donald Cragen : [to Stabler] Is your partner okay?
Elliot Stabler : Yeah, she's fine. She'll be better once Vivian Arliss is in custody, so we'll call you when I track her down.
Donald Cragen : You're off the case too.
Elliot Stabler : Who is going to accuse me of stealing anyone's kid? I already got five of my own.
-
Elliot Stabler : Is our victim awake yet?
Dr. Cutler : I hope not. She's in the morgue.
-
Elliot Stabler : [to Olivia after speaking with the paramedics, Tinta and O'Doole] Now, am I crazy or did our brethren just lie straight to our faces?
-
Donald Cragen : Olivia, you're not going anywhere.
Olivia Benson : I'm not?
A.D.A. Gillian Hardwicke : You have custody of our suspect's son.
Olivia Benson : And you think that's a conflict of interest.
A.D.A. Gillian Hardwicke : Her attorney will. A smart one might even say you rigged the game all along, exerted undue influence so you could get your hands on Calvin.
Elliot Stabler : Vivian signed him over to her.
Donald Cragen : A confused move by an addict being manipulated by a detective desperate to start her own family.
Olivia Benson : Is that how you see me?
A.D.A. Gillian Hardwicke : Only matters how a jury sees you.
Olivia Benson : I didn't ask about a jury.
Donald Cragen : And I'm not asking you to stand down.
-
Donald Cragen : [to Olivia] What the hell were you doing? Could I have been any clearer about you standing down?
Olivia Benson : I'm sorry.
Donald Cragen : Sorry is not even In the ballpark of where you need to be.
Elliot Stabler : What are we doing? She's the one who collared Vivian. Isn't that what we wanted?
Donald Cragen : You think you're gonna escape a rip here? You defied a direct order just like she did.
[to Fin and Munch]
Donald Cragen : And you two knew she was AWOL and you called him, not me.
Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : We just tried to make the play, Captain.
Olivia Benson : This is on me. It's not on them.
Donald Cragen : Playing the martyr is not gonna work here. Everybody's getting burned this time.
-
Olivia Benson : [When Olivia learns that she is no longer Calvin's legal guardian] Vivian, you did this. You talked to David. You're the one who's shipping him off to Vermont.
Vivian Arliss : I'm doing it because it's the best thing for him 'cause I'm his mom.
Elliot Stabler : [to Olivia] It was always temporary.
-
Elliot Stabler : One of the paramedics raped Caitlyn?
-
Elliot Stabler : [to Olivia] So how long is this gonna go on?
Olivia Benson : What, Calvin painting?
Elliot Stabler : You playing mom.
Olivia Benson : Come on, El. The kid's been through hell.
Elliot Stabler : Okay.
Olivia Benson : He's got a junkie mother, being abandoned... I'm just trying to give him some stability in his life.
-
Elliot Stabler : [to Jill about Caitlin's death] Come on, now. Is that a lip quiver coming from the girl who set the trap for the slut?
-
Elliot Stabler : [to Olivia] Let's go talk to the Donohos.
Olivia Benson : Well, that'll send us on a wild goose chase.
Elliot Stabler : Or it'll give us a chance to maybe find Vivian. Is that why you're dragging your feet?
Olivia Benson : Excuse me?
Elliot Stabler : Look, you've had four cups of coffee, you cleaned out your inbox, that's the first time that's happened in a month, all because you don't wanna go out there and try and find the woman that murdered Burlock.
Olivia Benson : Okay, we don't even know that she murdered Burlock and if she did, we should give her a medal.
Elliot Stabler : I agree with you, so let's find her and pin it on her chest. Look, we can't stall on this the way you've been stalling about finding Calvin's dad.
Olivia Benson : What?
Elliot Stabler : I found the swab yesterday. I know that you didn't send in Calvin's DNA to the lab.
Olivia Benson : You're snooping through my desk?
Elliot Stabler : You left your drawer open. I went to close it. There it was. That's it.
Olivia Benson : I thought that I sent in the swab, so if I didn't, I forgot and I made a mistake. I'll send it in now.
Elliot Stabler : I already did.
Olivia Benson : Good. Elliot, do me a favor. Let me take point on this.
-
Elliot Stabler : So Sarah killed Burlock for raping Vivian's mother and now Gambel kills Sarah for murdering his master.
Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola : Even in death, Burlock still has an iron grip on his prison bitch.
